Our Congressmen are supposed to represent their constituents. By voting "No" on a Senate bill proposing very watered down gun regulations measures--closing background check loopholes and creating a Commission to study and report on causes of mass violence, among other things--these democratic senators have willfully ignored the 90% of citizens supporting such measures as a common sense step. Instead, they seem to have caved to the NRA and its threats of its financial power. Tell the DSCC that we will no longer contribute to its coffers until it publicly withdraws support for Mark Begich (Alaska), Mark Pryor (Arkansas), Max Baucus (Montana), and Heidi Heitkamp (North Dakota).

Failure to pass the watered down gun amendment when 90% of the public was in favor is unexplainable and disgusting. The so called representatives of the people should be all censured NOW.

Last Friday 1130 AM Twin Cities News Talk radio host Bob Davis told the Sandy Hook victims to "go to hell" for supporting sensible gun control. This outrageous behavior should bring about a swift response from all Americans concerned with saving the lives of our youth.

90% of the american people favor some form of gun control or at least a vote on the issue. If the congress won't vote on an issue so favored by the people lets not buy them lunch or haircuts. Lets save money by making them either do their job or at least pay for some of the freebees.

I would like to send a huge "Thank You" to all of the U.S. senators that stood up and defended the constitution and my 2nd amendment rights by voting "Nay" on the gun control measures that were recently voted on in the U.S. Senate. These gun control measures would have done absolutely nothing to make our country safer. The only thing they would have accomplished would be limiting the 2nd amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.

Gun control and the election of real Democrats.

Shame on all 46 Senators--including 4 Democrats--who just voted against requiring background checks for gun purchases--something 90% of Americans support. Four months after the Newtown massacre, they are still kowtowing to the gun lobby instead of protecting our kids and families. Right now, we need to send a loud message to let these 46 senators know just how disgusted we are with their inability to put our children and families ahead of the NRA. Champions in the Senate are going to keep fighting for this bill and we need put every senator who voted "No" on notice: We're here, we know what you did, and we're going to hold you accountable. Can you sign our "Shame on you" petition?

This affects all Americans

For too long Senate Republicans have threatened to filibuster legislation that the majority of Americans are in favor of. Rather then calling them on this threat Senate Majority leader has given in repeatedly. This weeks vote on Universal background checks is the last straw. We need a new Democratic Majority Leader in the Senate.

Today, the Senate failed to pass a simple piece of legislation to help keep unreasonably lethal weapons and ammunition out of the hands of those who clearly cannot be trusted with them. Send them back. Demand that the Senate put real controls in place so that we can feel safe dropping our children off at school.

Having failed to close the loophole allowing no background checks for people buying guns online and at gun shows, Congress needs to try a little harder. 90% of Americans want background checks for ALL gun sales. The signers of this petition believe that your job, Congress, is to MAKE THAT HAPPEN

Four Democrats just voted against universal background checks for gun purchases -- a policy supported by more than 90% of Americans. Three of them are up for re-election in 2014. We're the people who donate in elections, knock on doors, and get out the vote in tight elections. We will not allow our work and voices be forgotten this election season. The DNC and DSCC rely on individual donors to get Senators elected. If they know they're going to be left high and dry by donors like you, they have a major problem. We have just as much financial power as the NRA and we refuse to allow our voice to be silenced.
